Travel insurance
Travel insurance for Seychelles
Short-trip cover for visits to Seychelles: emergency medical, trip-cancellation, luggage, the usual travel-insurance stack. Designed for weeks-not-years stays.
Seychelles runs a Workcation Retreat permit that lets remote workers stay up to a year, and it does ask you to carry health insurance covering COVID-19 and hospital care in the country. The catch that matters most: this is a small Indian Ocean archipelago where anything past intermediate care means an air ambulance to South Africa, Mauritius or Réunion, so evacuation cover is the line item that protects you.

Travel insurance in Seychelles: FAQ
Seychelles doesn't usually require visitors to carry travel insurance for short stays, but the moment something goes wrong it's cheaper to have it than to buy at the hospital. Check the visa-class requirements for your specific situation.
Premiums vary by age, plan and deductible far more than by country; the underwriting risk is priced, not the postal code. The Seychelles guide breaks down local treatment costs so you can see what your insurance protects you from, then run a real quote for your own number.
It depends on your situation: how long you're staying, your visa class, your age and health, and whether you want cashless treatment or are fine with reimbursement.
